Cave (diagonal)

Here's another Cave variation, made to practice for WPC 2023. Penpa link: https://tinyurl.com/yuwzdych


Rules: Shade some cells in the grid. The numbers must be unshaded, and tell how many cells it sees diagonally (including itself!). All unshaded cells must be connected. All shaded cells must be connected to the outside of the grid.
